My name is Aaron Tagliaboschi. Here’s some stuff I’m up to:
Writing
I really enjoy writing. I’m still fairly new and trying to find my stride, but it at least makes me happy.
I commit to making all writing on this site brain made
Blog
I write in a blog sometimes called My Kind of Beauty, where I putthoughts and musings about me and myself.
Here’s some of the more recent posts:
- The Unreasonable Effectiveness—And Unreasonable Hate—of the Frozen Uncrustable
- Why does the Uncrustable get so much hate? And what even is laziness?
- “I Am Your Beast” Reflections: Gameplay IS the Story
- A reflection on an awesome new game and the possibilities of games as art
- Looking Foward to 2024
- Not so much a plan as an idea…
- ‘23 in Review: Wait, what month is it?
- Let somethings drop off…
- New Album Out Now: Spare
- tl;dr: Go listen to my new solo piano EP, Spare
Music
I play piano and other stuff (but mostly piano and mostly jazz-adjacent). I also regularly make improv and other musical experiments on my TikTok, and that’s where I’m currently most active on the internet.
I’ve also released an album called Time Enough that I’m incredibly proud of.
Sidenote: I’ve been very pleased with DistroKid as a service, so if you’re looking to release something everywhere and think DistroKid might work, here’s an affiliate link
You can find all of my other releases on BandCamp
I was a guest musician on my good friend Martha Christian’s Christmas album, All Will Be Well, where I arranged and and played piano (and midi vibrophone) on a slightly different take on Silent Night
Web Toys
Every once in a while I make something small or silly (another thing I’d like to do more).
Here’s a couple hosted here:
- Average Response (Code)
- What does averaging the HTTP response code of every request sent from Firefox mean? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
- Fireworks (Code)
- A small visual demo I coded live for a hgih school class demonstration
- AMTunLimited (Code)
- This very website is a playground for me, as well as an attempt to make as minimal a website as I can that’s still sharable.
- TTT-js (Code)
- A demo of the minimax algorithm by way of a really inefficient tic-tac-toe AI
Other stuff
I guess I should mention that I’m a software engineer on the Developer Infrastructure team at Dropbox.
Other than TikTok I don’t really do social media, but there’s a RSS feed for my blog and a mailing list (linked below), and all of the various music platforms have subscriptions. Drop me an email if you’ve seen anything you liked.
Peace be with you, however you may find it, and good luck.
